AI graffiti?

Was someone posting about AI generated murals on the melbourne thread but i can't find it now.

Better or worse than lushsux?

Also the one public artwork that i do each year has a specific "no graffiti style" condition and you have to use the supplied paints. Seems a big thing on most murals.

Can't get into my control panel all of a sudden

GBhosting is the platform.

I have asked them but it is a Sunday and they are 11 hours behind being in the UK.

I am sure the option to see the control panel was there before.

I did pay my bill even though it was a couple of days late. I cleared it with them first.

What is it on the weekends? I keep getting a lot of 502/503 errors on the weekend too.

Diesel busses are back FTW 🤮

Back to diesel: LNP dumps Queensland’s electric bus program

The Crisafulli government has turned its back on environmentally friendly buses, with plans to procure a new fleet of more than 600 diesel-powered vehicles to roll out across Queensland.

Transport Minister Brent Mickelberg announced up to 630 new buses would hit the state’s roads, the first of which would be delivered in the 2027-28 financial year.

All the buses would be diesel, Mickelberg said, closing the door on zero-emissions technology.

“When we came to government, we inherited a thought bubble from Labor in the form of their zero-emissions bus program,” he said.

“Under Labor’s policy, all buses from January 1, 2025, were to be electric zero-emissions buses. However, they’ve done none of the work to upgrade the depots, none of the work in relation to securing appropriate charging infrastructure and sites.”

Speaking at Transdev’s Capalaba depot on Tuesday morning, Mickelberg would not put a price tag on the purchase – a common approach by the Crisafulli government, ostensibly to encourage competition in the market.

“We want to ensure that we drive the best value for money for the taxpayer,” he said.

“Suffice to say, this program will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, but we want to ensure that we get the most competitive bids possible, so we won’t be foreshadowing the funding allocation until we’ve awarded the contracts.”

While weighting would be given to local providers, there was no guarantee from Mickelberg that all the buses would be built in Queensland.

“We’ve received feedback from industry that the quantum of buses that we are seeking probably exceeds capacity here in Queensland, but we want to see as many buses built locally as possible,” he said.

“The tender process will elicit just that.”

Mickelberg said the buses would feature Euro 6 diesel technology – the strictest international emissions standard for diesel engines, mandating advanced exhaust technology to significantly reduce, but not eliminate, harmful air pollutants.

Labor opposition spokeswoman Meaghan Scanlon said the LNP’s pursuit of new diesel buses would take Queensland backwards.

“This rollout will deliver buses that are louder, dirtier and outdated – and the complete opposite of every other state in the country,” she said.

Scanlon also shut down the suggestion that electric buses were more expensive, particularly over their long-term service life.

“Well, anyone who fills diesel up at the petrol station at the moment will tell you how expensive that is,” she said.

In 2020, in the very depot Mickelberg announced the abandonment of the electric bus policy, Transdev developed a bus that ran entirely on solar power.

Parcel somehow delivered twice?

I was tracking an order for a customer who said it was delivered but the proof of delivery is a name they don't recognise.

Cut to Monday and it was delivered again and the customer said they got it. For some reason signed for by the same unknown person?

No, we do not have "authority to leave" option on the website.

Curtis stone glass cookware is hot garbage

I would not have gotten it unless I had to use up the points or indeed knew i had points.

The clips keep coming off and the rubber seal comes off on its own.

I can't take it to work as i am worried about being smashed in transit.

Join the book club!

I got amy remikis book as it seems the exact opposite of angertainment which advises you to just ignore abuse.

Love machines as AI is fashionable i guess? Still think parasocial relationships you pay for probably better. I get on better with people overseas than locally.

Melbourne transport films

Found this on my website from 2007 about two young girls on an adventure in a tram depot.

Angela white also did a scene on a moonee ponds tram back in the day. Go find that yourself! She gets off at puckle st and goes to the shops. She should christen the G class!

What's a "fake union"?

I would argue the reason the construction union got so powerful as there was a time when 13 workers would die building a bank and no one would bat an eye! Gina Reinhardt and her ilk want to return to that!
